Studies on the Link Between Ginseng and Blood Sugar
A 2014 review and meta-analysis of 16 research studies looked at those that used randomized, controlled groups for 30 days or more and people who had diabetes and those who didn't.3 They found that ginseng significantly improved fasting blood glucose compared to the control group. Ginseng didn't have a significant effect on A1c, fasting insulin, or insulin resistance. They concluded that ginseng "modestly yet significantly improved fasting blood glucose in people with and without diabetes."
In contrast, a 2016 meta-analysis of eight studies found that the benefits of using ginseng as part of a treatment program for type 2 diabetes included improved fasting glucose levels, postprandial insulin, and insulin resistance, with no significant effects on A1c.4 The study also found improved triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) as a result of using ginseng.
A 2019 study found that the glycemic benefits of using ginseng alongside oral medications for type 2 diabetes (such as metformin) resulted in reduced systolic blood pressure, blood lipid markers, and increased nitric oxide generation, suggesting that ginseng improves endothelial function and protects against cardiovascular disease in those patients"
